Dean Brewster
Director / Project Manager
Qualified Carpenter, Licensed Building Practitioner and Registered Master Builder
​
I have more than 20 years experience in the building industry, beginning on garages and beach batches and progressing to award-winning architectural homes and large scale extensions and renovations.

After two years in London working on extensive, large scale architectural re-modelling projects, I returned to Christchurch and established Brewster Building in 2012.

Outside of work I enjoy fishing, a good book, camping and boating.

Coran Duckworth
Qualified Carpenter

I started working with a parent's friend during school holidays, helping with a bit of maintenance work and really enjoyed getting to use tools and learn new things.  I now have 10 years experience in the building industry and love the satisfaction of being able to stand back and take pride in what I've built and I love seeing the joy on clients' faces as they watch their dreams come to reality.

In my spare time, I love to play games, spend time with my fiance taking our dog for walks, and hanging out with friends.

Chris Conner
Apprentice Carpenter
​
Throughout my school life, I always enjoyed woodworking and the outdoors.  This naturally led me to building.  I enjoy the satisfaction of seeing the empty site at the start and comparing it to the finished product.

Outside of work I really enjoy mountain biking, sport and watching movies.

I graduated from the University of Canterbury with degrees in Law and Psychology and was then admitted to the bar.  I worked in a tax advisory role before moving to London with Dean for two years where we enjoyed the opportunity to travel.

We returned to New Zealand and have two children.  I work in Brewster Building assisting with business systems, accounts and administration. 

Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, walking my dog at the river and adventures with my family.
